2:53 p.m. | That's All From Waco No. 1 Oklahoma wins its Big 12 Conference
opener against Baylor in Waco, 49-17, to move to 5-0
on the season. Now it's up to Texas at Colorado this
evening to make the Red River Rivalry even bigger than
normal next week in Dallas. We already know a record
92,000 will be on hand.

2:48 p.m. | Mossis Parts the Waters Nice run for a first down from Norman product
Mossis Madu. OU's running back corps provides a rotation
of fresh legs and different running styles. It's hot
down in Waco and probably at least 10 degrees hotter
on the artifical turf.

2:42 p.m. | Clayton Blasts Griffin Linebacker Keenan Clayton continues his career
day with a big sack of the elusive Griffin. The nine-yard
loss forces a punt from Baylor.

2:39 p.m. | Heads-Up Play for Sam Not to be lost in the scoring drive but Bradford
narrowly missed making his first career reception on
that batted ball. Bradford instinctively knocked it
down.

2:35 p.m. | Brandon Walker Plug Right guard Brandon Walker gets a nice plug
from the commentators in leading the way for DeMarco
Murray into the end zone on that last score. It was
Murray's second score of the day.

2:31 p.m. | Slow FSN Graphics Oklahoma's no-huddle offense may force FSN
to develop faster graphics. Showing highlights in the
tight window betwen plays has been a challenge for
FSN all day. Too many plays are already underway when
live coverage resumes.

2:27 p.m. | Clayton Having Career Game Linebacker Keenan Clayton has already notched
a career high in tackles with 11 with 3:02 remaining
in the third. The junior had tied his previous high
of nine in the first half alone.

2:24 p.m. | Iglesias 100-Yard Games Juaquin Iglesias has recorded his fifth career
100-yard game. Iglesias moves into sole possession
of third all-time on the OU 100-yard games list after
sharing the honor with Eddie Hinton. Mar Clayton (2001-04)
and Malcolm Kelly (2005-07) are ahead of Iglesias with
15 and nine 100-yard games, respectively.

2:21 p.m. | Kansas Roars Back The Jayhawks have put 28 unanswered points
on the board to take a 28-20 lead at Iowa State in
the fourth... Check
Big 12 scores

2:02 p.m. | Kudos to SoonerVision Baylor just ran their version of a "Big
Hits" video in the stadium. It consisted of
highlights from around college football last week.
In contrast, SoonerVision knocks out highlights from
the current game in the stadium. View an archive here.

1:57 p.m. | Manny Marks With today's performance, Manny Johnson has
eclipsed the century mark in the career receptions
list. Johnson currently has 102 career receptions.
Big thanks to Mike Brooks of Blanchard, Okla., who
possesses what is likely the most comprehensive statistical
database on OU football and provides assistance on
game days.

1:42 p.m. | Mr. Reliable FSN's broadcast crew just called Chris Brown "Mr.
Reliable" as the running back bulls in for another
Oklahoma touchdown.

1:39 p.m. | Don't Miss Lesson No. 1 with OU's receivers: you miss
a tackle and they're gone. Juaquin Iglesias takes another
beautiful pass from Bradford and escapes the defender
to put OU in scoring position again. Prior to that
play, Ryan Broyles had a reception and run that brought
back memories of his game at Washington.

1:37 p.m. | Back to Action Oklahoma will have the wind to its back in
the fourth quarter. It's up enough in Waco to force
Baylor to assign a player to hold the ball up during
kickoffs.

1:34 p.m. | Here Comes Ralphie A warning for Texas: While Baylor does have
a live bear on the sideline, it seems pretty harmless.
I don't think we'll have to worry about any wild animals
on the loose, circa the Ralphie
incident.

1:27 p.m. | Keenan Clayton, LBs Busy In just the first half, Clayton has already
tied a career high with nine tackles. The Sooner linebackers
are staying busy with Ryan Reynolds (8 tackles) and
Travis Lewis (6) the next highest tacklers.

1:23 p.m. | Sooners No. 1 in Scoring By points, Oklahoma is the highest-scoring
program in the history of college football. In 1,131
games now, the Sooners have scored 29,976 points. Chasing
the Sooners are Michigan with 29,407 points in 1,197
games and Nebraska with 29,231 points in 1,193.

1:16 p.m. | It's Halftime As the OU team heads off the field for halftime,
you'll see the players go to midfield along the sideline
and then disappear. At Floyd Casey Stadium, there are
stairs going down below the stands at the 50 and then
a long hallway that slopes up to the locker room.

1:07 p.m. | Iglesias Moving Up, Too Juaquin Iglesias is now second on the OU all-time
receiving yards list. Iglesias jumped the 2,009 yards
of former Sooner Antwone Savage (1999-2002) and currently
sits with 2,065 yards with 4:31 yards remaining in
the second quarter.

1:03 p.m. | Bradford Up to No. 2 This from the OU media relations staff in
the Baylor press box: With his last TD pass to Iglesias,
Bradford just took sole possession of the second spot
on the OU all-time career TD passes list with 54. The
former player? One of the first to congratulate him
coming off the field: quarterbacks coach Josh Heupel.

12:59 p.m. | OU Picks On Left Corner Iglesias is the fifth player for the Sooners
to score in the first half as Sam Bradford hits him
in the left corner of Baylor's secondary and No. 9
rolls into the end zone in front of the OU fans in
the stadium.

12:55 p.m. | The Call OU staff on the sideline report that the ball
didn't seem to touch the field and was rolling on Iglesias'
chest before the Baylor player scooped it up. But,
not much damage done. The OU defense forces a punt
and the offense is back in business.

12:52 p.m. | OU Playing Defense Aside from Griffin's long scramble that set
up Baylor's lone score, Oklahoma's defense has been
laying some licks and playing with enthusiasm. There's
not much room up the middle and Griffin hasn't had
time to set up for a pass.

12:48 p.m. | Travis Lewis' Helmet We've fielded some emails
from fans on the helmet Travis Lewis is wearing.
We reported on this in last week's Gameday Blog: "OU
football equipment director Brad Camp just told us
that redshirt freshman linebacker Travis Lewis is sporting
a Riddell Revolution Speed helmet. OU is one of only
16 schools in the country to test out the new helmet
which utilizes the latest technology while maintaining
a traditional look."

12:44 p.m. | Mascot Trivia The Bear Tradition began when Baylor chose
the Bear instead of the ever popular bookworm (???)
to represent the school as its official mascot in 1914.
The Bear nickname was chosen over the likes of buffalo,
antelope, frog and ferret. Yes,
ferret!

12:42 p.m. | Spreading it Around All four of Oklahoma's scores in the first
quarter came from different players: Manny Johnson's
long-scoring catch, DeMarco Murray's short run, Bradford's
dive into the end zone and Mossis Madu's six points.

12:39 p.m. | First-Quarter ExplosionThrough five games, Oklahoma has now out-scored
opponents 103-3 in the opening quarter. TCU was the
lone team to score on the Sooners in the opening stanza
with a 32-yard field goal in last week's 35-10 OU win.

12:34 p.m. | Surprise in Ames? OU is not the only team with a big lead in
the first quarter. Iowa State is up, 20-0, on No. 16
Kansas. Check
Big 12 scores...

12:31 p.m. | Gone with the Wind Oklahoma may have taken that time out before
the last score to take advantage of the wind on the
ensuing kickoff. Moreland started the game sending
the ball into the end zone but Baylor has been fielding
the kicks near the goal line since.

12:26 p.m. | First Quarter Nightmare
for Baylor Oklahoma goes up 28-0 with another goal line
plunge, this time from Norman's own Mossis Madu. OU's
run 25 offensive plays and scored four touchdowns.
The 28 points is

12:23 p.m. | Gresham Accolades Gary Reasons of FSN just said this about Jermaine
Gresham after he came back to help out Bradford on
the last play: "He's a tight end I'd like to
build a team around."

12:17 p.m. | Too Fast for FSN TV viewers missed the kickoff as FSN was still
returning from commercial. Oklahoma's hurry-up offense
has been giving the broadcast team fits throughout
the game so far.

12:10 p.m. | Reynolds Bringing It This from Tory on the sideline: a huge gasp
from the Baylor crowd with Ryan Reynolds' big hit on
Griffin. Then the Sooner fans erupted when the replay
was shown inside the stadium.

12:08 p.m. | More on Lewis' Sack With Travis Lewis' sack of Robert Griffin,
the OU defense foiled an opponent's attempt on fourth
down for the seventh time this year as OU opponents
are 3-for-10 on the season on fourth down.

12:06 p.m. | Quick Strike in Waco From OU media relations in the press box: "Oklahoma
needed just 70 seconds to get on the board as Sam Bradford
hooked up with Manuel Johnson with a 53-yard touchdown
pass with 13:50 remaining in the first. The score marked
the earliest of the season for the Sooners. The previous
earliest: Bradford's 27-yard pass against Cincinnati
1:42 into the game on Sept. 6."

12:02 p.m. | DeMarco Into the End Zone Oklahoma scores on its second possession as
DeMarco Murray squirts into the end zone from the two.

12:01 p.m. | Keeping Up FOX Sports Net is having the same trouble
we've seen from the TV networks all season with the
Sooners. They can't cut back from a feature fast enough
as Oklahoma deploys its no-huddle and the TV viewers
miss the beginning of a play.

11:56 a.m. | Fourth-and-Sack Travis Lewis jarred Baylor quarterback Robert
Griffin to end the Bears' drive. Gerald McCoy broke
up the play earlier, looming so large in Grffin's grill
that he nearly threw an INT to Travis Lewis.

11:45 a.m. | Bradford to Manny Oklahoma strikes fast on its third offensive
play of the game. Sam Bradford hits Manny Johnson along
the left sideline for the touchdown. Perhaps Baylor
didn't watch the video from last week against TCU?

11:42 a.m. | Nice Start OU wins the toss, kicks into the end zone,
Brian Jackson nearly had a one-handed interception
and Baylor forced to punt.

11:23 a.m. | Let's Rumble The Sooners just huddled on the field after
warmups and headed back to the locker room. SoonerSports.com's
Tory Kukowski just reported from the sideline that
the OU fan contingent in the stands is considerable.
Hard to hear Tory over the yells of "Boomer
Sooner!" coming over the cell phone.

11:19 a.m. | Don't Pop For some reason, OU Associate A.D. Kenny Mossman
is intrigued by inflatable mascots. Here's a video
clip for Mossman in case he doesn't get his fill
from the Baylor press box today.

11:10 a.m. | OU Generating Big Publicity This from David Bassity of OU Athletics Media
Relations in the Baylor press box: "Ivan Maisel
from ESPN.com, and representatives from the New
York Times and Wall Street Journal are
all in the press box covering the game today. Pretty
impressive."

11:07 a.m. | FOX Sports on OU-Baylor FOX Sports Net began broadcasting at 11 a.m.
in advance of the 11:30 kickoff time. FSN studio analyst
D'Marco Farr listed these four criteria for Baylor
to upset Oklahoma: 1. Contain OU's run game, 2. Sack
Sam Bradford, 3. Win special teams and 4. Career day
from Griffin. Sounds sort of like the recipe for any
game...

11:04 a.m. | Boomer Sooner from Waco The team is on the field stretching right
now. We just heard our first rendition of Boomer Sooner
a few minutes ago. Hopefully it's the first of many
today.

10:46 a.m. | McCoy, Gresham Come to
You SoonerSports.com has teamed up with DT Gerald
McCoy and TE Jermaine Gresham to provide fans an inside
look at both the OU offense and defense each week.
If you missed the latest installments, catch up with McCoy and Gresham in
video.

10:39 a.m. | Containing Griffin From Mike Jones of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: "Containing
Griffin will be the overriding
factor today as No.1 OU (4-0) opens Big 12 play
against the 2-2 Bears. Sooners defenders can only hope
they have their hands full, not empty, as the conference
400-meter hurdles champion attempts to go sprinting
past."

10:28 a.m. | Players on the Field OU players are warming up on the field. Sooners
fans are filing into the stadium early and the Oklahoma
band is taking their seats.

10:17 a.m. | Watch 2008 Intro Videos No.
1 & 2 We just posted versions one and two of the
2008 intro videos that welcome the Sooners to Owen
Field on the OU Athletics Department YouTube
channel. The aspect ratio is designed for the new
HD SoonerVision board towering over the south end zone
at Memorial Stadium so the video appears small but
at least you can play it before the game on TV today...

10:09 a.m. | ESPN's College Gameday Chris Fowler on ESPN's College Gameday just
said Oklahoma was "scary good". He also predicted
Baylor's offense would score some points today in Waco.
Corso just predicted that K-State would upset Texas
Tech in Manhattan. Herbstreit says Iowa State will
challenge Kansas. Check
Big 12 scores here all day...

10:04 a.m. | Not the Old Baylor Quotes from Sooner players courtesy John Hoover
of the Tulsa World: "I don't think Baylor
is the old
Baylor any more," OU receiver Manuel Johnson
said. "I don't think we're really looking at it
as being No. 1," linebacker Ryan Reynolds said. "We're
just four games into the season. There's still a lot
that can happen, and there's a long way to go."

9:40 a.m. | Baylor's Bryant Our thoughts go out to former Baylor kicker
Matt Bryant, who is currently with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Bryant lost his 3 1/2-month old son last week. Read
more...

9:32 a.m. | OU Headed for Stadium With police escort leading the way, the caravan
of buses carrying the OU team is rolling to the stadium.
Weather conditions are sunny and temps may climb into
the lower 90s later in the game.

8:53 a.m. | Departure Time It's about time to board the bus for the stadium
but we'll check in periodically with more updates from
Waco.
8:43 a.m. | Dr. Pepper Capital of the World Did you know that Dr. Pepper was invented
in Waco? They take pride in their Dr. Pepper down here,
as we found out firsthand at dinner last night with
an appetizer of Dr. Pepper buffalo wings. They were
definitely legit. You can also visit the Dr.
Pepper Museum.

8:41 | FOX Sports Net
The game will be televised at 11:30 a.m. (CT) on Cox
channel 37 in Oklahoma City, channel 27 in Tulsa and
channel 32 in Lawton. To find the channel for FOX Sports
Net (FSN) in your area, type your zip code on the TV
Guide site and select your cable provider.
8:29 a.m. | Welcome to Waco A few observations from our time in Waco so
far. On the ride from the airport to the hotel last
night, we passed by a professional horseshoe tournament.
We never knew they made horseshoe facilities so
nice. Also located in Waco is the Texas
Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum. We didn't have
to time to stop and visit either, but if you ever visit
Waco other than for a Sooner game...

8:04 | SoonerSports.com Gameday Blog
Welcome to the SoonerSports.com Gameday Blog. Throughout
the day, you can view commentary from our staff watching
the game on FOX Sports Net, observations from the field
at Floyd Casey Stadium, notes from the media relations
staff in the press box and fan
emails and reaction during the game.
8:01 a.m. | Wake-Up Call We're up and at 'em in Waco. Welcome back
to the SoonerSports.com Gameday Blog. We think everything
went over pretty well in its debut last Saturday against
TCU and look forward to making it even more interesting
this weekend with the Sooners on the road in Waco.
Stay tuned throughout the day!
